      True story: my 4-year-old son asked me what I was doing at work. I carefully explained my current project, describing it in a way he could understand. His reply: "I thought you were playing Civilization!". Ouch.

              ...when you attack one of your closest friends when you're injured in order to "repair" yourself...

              In fact, I never try to get my units repaired in allied cities, because it's not worth the turn you have to spend for

              wow, my comment was larger than the actual contribution to the thread...

                  ...you wonder why armies bother with uniforms - surely the large coloured shield is a dead give away?

                  ...why aren`t there any rulers that have ruled for 6000 years?

                    You're old and dying, lying on your deathbed, and your hand inches toward the ENTER key:

                    "one...more...turn..."

                        I actually did that with MoO2, but it was a boring job that had little real work at that point...

                        I was also busily corrupting our tech support department with loaned copies of MoO2, Worms:Armaggedon, Total Annhilation, etc.

                          When you bring the disk to work, and load it onto your work computer!

                          (I've never done this, but I've considered it )

                            I was just about to point out that Horsie is simply making excuses in advance for why he will suck at Civ III...

                              When you carry a notepad and pen with you wherever you go. So you can jot down ideas for improving the game or writing scenarios.

                              Or if you've got a 2 gig hd and half of it is used on civ2.

                                By downloading every scenario, mod and anything else I can find. If it's on the web, most likely i've got it. Somewhere in that junk heap.
